Embedded Systems Design in the Era of AI - Prof. Michael Huebner, Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), Cottbus, Germany
2021-08-02 10:00 - 11:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297822
The increasing demands of complexity, flexibility and self-organization of networked embedded systems require new solutions for the local processor architectures and firmware. This includes the ability to adapt to the requirements of an algorithm e.g. in relation to a sensor value measured by an Cyberphysical System. Artificial intelligence becomes ubiquitous and therefore enters also the domain of embedded systems and enables enormous opportunities in edge computing. This will introduce new degrees of freedom in embedded and Cyberpyhsical systems and is very promising to support the aforementioned demands tremendously. In this talk, possible solutions for next generation embedded systems with AI components will be introduced.
Michael Huebner is a Full Professor and leads the Chair for Computer Engineering at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Cottbus, Germany, since 2018.
He is also Vice-President for research and transfer at BTU since December 2020.
He received his diploma degree in electrical engineering and information technology in 2003, his Ph.D. degree in 2007 from the University of Karlsruhe (TH), and did his habilitation in 2011 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the domain of reconfigurable computing systems.
His research interests are in reconfigurable computing and particularly new technologies for adaptive FPGA run-time reconfiguration and on-chip network structures with application in automotive systems, incl. the integration into high-level design and programming environments.

Mechanical and Electrical models using SIMULINK
2021-07-30 20:00 - 2021-08-02 21:00 (EET) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285958
The Industry Application society held a free workshop in association with IMechE, that introduced the SIMULINK program to students, which is a systems modeling, simulation and analysis software that also models both continuous and discontinuous systems. Using Simulink, you can build models from scratch or modify existing systems, and the benefit of this is to study the characteristics of a system before starting implementation to determine the nature of the system's response to inputs.
The workshop included four virtual sessions.

An Organic-Photoconductive-Film CMOS Image Sensor’s Advanced Technologies - Ms. Kazuko Nishimura, Panasonic Corporation, Japan
2021-07-27 11:30 - 13:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297821
We have developed a CMOS image sensor with an organic photoconductive film (OPF) laminated on pixel circuits, different from those of a conventional silicon image sensors, in which the organic thin film for photoelectric conversion and the charge storage part for signal charge accumulation are completely independent. In this presentation, we focus on the advantageous features of the OPF image sensor; technology that realizes over 120 dB simultaneous-capture wide dynamic range; global shutter technology achieving high saturation signals per unit square that is 10 dB higher than that of silicon image sensors with the global shutter function, without sacrificing pixel area; RGB-NIR sensor technology capable of controlling NIR sensitivity by simply controlling the voltage applied to the OPF. Moreover, we introduce about 8K4K high resolution sensor technologies with 60fps high frame rate, 450ke- high saturation signals, and the global shutter function at the same time. We believe these features of the OPF image sensor will contribute to leaps in the imaging and sensing fields.
Kazuko Nishimura received the B.E. degree in mechanical engineering from Osaka University, and joined Panasonic Corporation where she engaged in high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in 1995. She developed optical communication systems for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), RF tuners and CMOS image sensors. Currently, she is a manager in Technology Division (R&D Division), Panasonic Corporation and pursues research on the organic photoconductive film (OPF) CMOS image sensors and sensor applications. She serves A-SSCC data converter subcommittee chair and ISSCC Imagers, Medical, MEMS and Displays subcommittee, IEEE SSCS distinguished Lecturer, and the SSCS Adcom. She is a senior member of IEEE.

Discrete Event Systems Specification
2021-07-14 16:00 - 18:00 (Asia/Jerusalem)
Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) refers to the trend to use models systematically throughout the design process. MBSE has been struggling to find a way to connect the blueprint models that describe the initial architecture with ways to check and evaluate these plans.
Simulation has become the preferred means to support this goal. Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) is a model-based way to perform simulation and connect the stages of MBSE. DEVS enables you to represent real systems (existing or hypothetical) so they can be digitally represented and simulated.
It is a part of a framework and theory of modeling and simulation and is unique as a way of constructing a simulation model that is based on a mathematical theory of systems. In this talk, we answer some questions such as: How/when was DEVS born?
How does it compare to other abstractions? Where does it make the most sense to use? Where will it lead? What are the potential benefits of DEVS? What is made possible as a direct result of using DEVS?
After a short review and some example case studies, we present our vision for fully integrated modeling and simulation support of the MBSE life cycle based on DEVS. We close by considering the current state-of-the-art tools available and under development towards this vision.

TAU Seminar: Imaging with scattered light: Exploiting speckle to see deeper and sharper
2021-06-16 13:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283061
TAU Seminar of
Ori Katz
The Hebrew Universitry of Jerusalem
Co-sponsored by: Tel Aviv University
Speaker(s): Ori Katz,
Agenda:
Scattering of light in complex samples such as biological tissue renders most samples opaque to conventional optical imaging techniques, a problem of great practical importance . However, although random, scattering of coherent light generates speckle patterns with universal statistics and angular and spatial correlations, that allow computational retrieval of diffraction-limited imaging . Furthermore, the random temporal fluctuations of speckle patterns, formed by light propagation in dynamic samples, can be exploited for super-resolution photo-acoustic and acousto-optic imaging, deep inside scattering samples .
I will present the fundamental principles and limitations of these novel approaches, as well as some of our recent efforts in utilizing these new insights for the development of novel endoscopic techniques .

Hardware Security and Safety of IC Chips - Prof. Makoto Nagata University of Kobe, Japan
2021-06-08 11:00 - 12:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285153
IC chips are key enablers to a smartly networked society and need to be more compliant to security and safety. For example, semiconductor solutions for autonomous vehicles must meet stringent regulations and requirements. While designers develop circuits and systems to meet the performance and　functionality of such products, countermeasures are proactively implemented in silicon to protect against harmful disturbances and even intentional adversarial attacks.
This talk will start with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) techniques applied to IC chips for safety to motivate EMC-aware design, analysis, and implementation. It will discuss IC design challenges to achieve higher levels of hardware security (HWS). Crypto-based secure IC chips are investigated to avoid the risks of side-channel leakages and side-channel attacks, corroborated with silicon demonstrating analog techniques to protect digital functionality. The EMC and HWS disciplines derived from electromagnetic principles are key to establishing IC design principles for security and safety.
Makoto Nagata received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from Gakushuin University, Tokyo, in 1991 and 1993, respectively, and a Ph.D. in electronics engineering from Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, in 2001.. He is currently a professor of the graduate school of science, technology and innovation, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan. He is a senior member of IEICE and IEEE.
His research interests include design techniques targeting high-performance mixed analog, RF and digital VLSI systems with particular emphasis on power/signal/substrate integrity and electromagnetic compatibility, testing and diagnosis, three-dimensional system integration, as well as their applications for hardware security and safety.
Dr. Nagata has been a member of a variety of technical program committees of international conferences. He is chairing the Technology Directions subcommittee for International Solid-State Circuits Conference (2018-present). He is also serving as SSCS AdCom member since 2020. He is currently an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems (2015-present).

CE Club Seminar - The Architecture of NVIDIA Data Center Infrastructure Processing Unit
2021-05-05 11:30 - 12:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283129
In Modern data centers, resources are usually virtualized. Applications running on those date centers are distributed over many virtual machines. For those applications, the data centers provide software defined infrastructure services for networking, storage, and security. When software defined services are running within the same CPU as the applications, they consume CPU resources on the expanse of the applications. Moreover, the data center security can be jeopardized
NVIDIA Data Center Infrastructure Processing Unit (DPU) allow migrating all the infrastructure services from the application CPU. This new architecture isolates the data center infrastructure from the application domain running on the CPUs or GPUs making this sensitive code independent on any application. NVIDIA DPU accelerates and abstract the storage, networking, and security service to enable applications to get the most out of the CPUs and GPUs.
In this presentation, the fundamentals of NVIDIA DPU architecture will be presented, along with the NVIDIA DOCA SDK programming mode for the DPU, the system use cases and the impacts of this architecture on next generation data centers.

Asynchronous circuits have many potential advantages over their synchronous counterparts in terms of robustness to parameter variations, wide supply voltage ranges, and potentially low power by not needing a clock, yet their promise has not been translated yet into commercial success due to several issues related to design methodologies and the need for handshake signals. Stochastic computing is another processing paradigm that has shown promises of low power and extremely compact circuits but has yet to become a commercial success mainly because of the need for a fast clock to generate the random streams.
In this talk we will go over three complementary circuit techniques: Asynchronous Stochastic Computing (ASC), Asynchronous Stream Processing (ASP) and Asynchronous Impulse Radio (AIR). These techniques combine the best features of asynchronous circuits with the best features of stochastic computing to enable extremely compact and low power IoT sensing nodes. Together they can fulfill the promise of smart dust, a concept that was ahead of its time and yet to achieve commercial success.
